Dude.... chill out.  

Don't take this as a personal attack, just constructive criticism:

Yes, the swap info IS on Scirocco.org under Tech procedures.  It would be a good idea to check out the site every now and then to see what is new.  The tech procedure has been up for a while now.  You might want to check the message archives as well before posting general questions that have been answered before.

Ok, so is the Motronic swap on the FAQ at Scirocco.ORG?

If not, who's got the info??

I want HP!!!!!

TIA,
Dan

Easy one Dan:  there isn't one.

Well, almost true.  Superchips supposedly has something, but from what
I understand, it's only removing the rev limiter. Not only that, but
you have to send them one of your brain boxes.  That's actually part
of the problem, as CIS-E has three 'brains'.  An ignition control
module (to do ignition work), a Jetronic control box (to do ignition
timing and knock control), and an O2 brain box (to help control fuel
mixture).  No one 'chip' for them all like Motronic, where all this
is controlled from a single brain, and hence, is far more easily
'chipped'.  Fun, eh? :)
